Knowing this, why are some people commenting that it was "A bad-joke fest", "lazy and sloppy", "incoherent". I have to wonder why these people even go to movies.
I mean, you saw the ads. You must have seen or heard of "Super Troopers" or "Club Dread". Maybe you even have some experience of seeing the Broken Lizard team somewhere else.

But in the name of all that is holy, don't tell me you went to a movie called "Beerfest" with the idea you were going to see the next Star Wars, True Grit, Gone with the Wind or something like that? If you did, you deserve films like "Gigli" and "Dunston Checks In".

To me, that is why I am a 'movie reviewer' and not a "Film Critic". I go to see movies because I choose them. I pick the ones I want to watch. Often I get a loser in the bunch. But it has been very few times I went into a 'Beerfest' like movie only to come out complaining about how it was filled with T&A, guzzling beer, and childish humor.
Crap, that's why I went to it in the first place.

Now that the ranting stage is over, about the movie.

When American brothers promise Great Gam Gam (Cloris Leachman), Todd and Jan Wolfhouse (Erik Stolhanske and Paul Soter) promise to take the ashes of their dead German grandfather (an uncredited cameo by Donald Sutherland), to Germany to spread his ashes during Oktoberfest in Munich, they never expected to meet their German cousins, who insult the Yank branch of the family and proceed to humiliate them badly in beer drinking in a secret underground competition known as Beerfest.

Vowing to return the next year to avenge this defeat they recruit three friends from their past to start training. This group includes Barry (Chandrasekhar), a semi-perverted, sexual deviant who is working as a male prostitute for a really cheap pimp and is a former beer games champion who has just lost his confidence.; Fink (Steve Lemme), a scientist who has an interesting lab technique for extracting frog semen; and Landfill (Kevin Heffernan), a professional eating contestant.

The first and third parts of the film were just about what you would expect in a film like this. They deal with the heroes being trounced and with the heroes succeeding even while the other side tries to cheat them out of victory.
However, it is the middle section of the movie that absolutely takes the ball from the dog. The training, which consists primarily of drinking massive amounts of beer being consumed, is simply funny to watch.
The boys invade a private party just to test their mettle against other drinkers, chase Rams, fall down, wear dresses and ride a five-man bike. And they did it all with style and talent.

In addition, as well as Sutherland and Leachman, you have to give credit to German star Juergen Prochnow who played the villainous baron. He has one line in here that just made me fall over, while the rest of the theater just sat there.

Some people are saying that Chandrasekhar may have gone too far into bad taste with one joke, near the end. To that I say, "SBRETTTTTT". Yes, a joke about Jews vs. Germans is funny and in bad taste. But GOD!!!! That is what made it funny.
Take off those lousy PC glasses and look around. The world is not Politically Correct, and movies and jokes like this prove that as a race, humanity actually likes to have a little bad taste thrown in their face in a movie comedy.

For all of you Film Critics and highbrow folk who found this film to be crude and in bad taste, let my make a suggestion? The next time you see something like this advertised on TV, STAY HOME. You will make us all happier.

For the rest of us just raise your glasses for Beerfest, a film loaded with sexual humor, crude jokes and a party of drunken comedy that will make you feel good inside!
